# Sharing project with existing changes

### <mark style="color:blue;">Problem</mark>

When sharing a Plant 3D project with existing changes in the PDMDataCache\*.dcf files, the process of sharing creates an error like this:

![](/files/7AmAAh8h9kMSlrxP4PAW)

### <mark style="color:blue;">Description</mark>

The file extension DCF let's Plant 3D assume, that this file is one of the 5 Plant 3D databases (ProcessPower.dcf, Piping.dcf, Misc.dcf, Iso.dcf, Ortho.dcf). These 5 Plant 3D databases are shared by Plant 3D by being first zipped and then uploaded to AWS (Amazon Web Services) where they are "converted" from the zip file into Cloud databases.

However, this is not working for the data cache files of PlantDataManager.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Solution</mark>

Import any existing changes with PlantDataManager Plugin before sharing the project.
